"When I was down IN Washington
the other day." remarked western pol-
tician at the st. James, ''they showed me
a wonderful Indian palm in the botanical
gardens. They call it the caryota ureus,
and it cuts bigger figure in the world
as an intoxicant than all the distilleries OF
the United States. Just in proportion az
the followers of Brahma and Buddha in
India are far more numerous than the
Christian population of the United States,
in the same proportion does that palm
tree surpass all our appliances for making
an intoxnant- 1t is beautiful tree,
with trunk something over foot in
diameter, grows to the height of about
sixty feet, and is surmounted by an ele-
giant crown of gracefully curved leaves.
The flower spikes are ten or twelve feet
long, and issue from the trunk at the
base Of the leaves, hanging down like
horses tail. They are not produced till
the tree has arrived at its full period of
growth, and the manner in which the
numerous spikes succeed each other is
rather singular. The first spike issues
from the top of the tree, and after it has
done Towering another comes out below
it, and SO on, n flower spike being pre-
duced from the angle of each leaf stalk,
or from the circular scar left by leaves
that have fallen away from the trunk,
until the process of Towering reaches the
ground, when the tee is exhausted and
dies.
The English in India gave it the
name of toddy palm because they traced
kinship between their old home toddy
and the juice of the tree. The natives
work it in this fashion: When the spikes
are in the bud they cut them OFF, and the
sap that would have flowed into the bud
is caught by them in gourd and used IN
liquor. It's very powerful and pro-
luces fine crop of dclirium tremens in
India. They expect this oriental distil-
lery to flower some time this fall. Yes.
it's the only toddy palm in this country.

Pure Drinking Water.

Many cities have adopted, or are now
introducing, artificial filtration. and it is

visitation will not he necessary To impress
our authorities with the necessity for
some action OH their part. Pending such
action, the following general directions,
if given publicity and Insisted upon, may
be the means of saving many lives. Drink
no water that has not been previously
boiled. Do not put ice into the water
unless it is known TO be pure, for the ice
may contain as many disease germs as
the water. The water should only be al
lowed to come to boil when it should be
removed from the fire, for otherwise you
will expel the oxygen, which gives it an
unpleasant taste. After boiling it should
be placed in stone jar and covered over:
when sufficiently cool it should be de-
canted into bottles and then put on ice.
1t is best to boil sufficient water each
morning to last during the day. If pos
